America used to be about something, we had to conquer and tame the West. It was our Manifest Destiny. But the West has been explored and conquered and settled. There’s nothing left for us to explore. Wrong. There’s nothing left for us to explore on this Earth (well, there is with the oceans and stuff, […]
Continuing with the theme of “Danny isn’t perfect,” I would like to list off a few things that I cannot stand. A perfect person wouldn’t mind these things, nor anything for that matter. But again, I’m not perfect. To start off, let’s define what a pet peeve is before I start listing mine. To be […]
I’m not perfect. You’re not perfect. These are things that people say but hardly think about, in my experience. I’ll tell you I’m not perfect but turn around and attempt something with my mind thinking that I am actually invincible. Here’s a list of seven things I’m actually quite awful at. Emptying the Litter Box I’m […]
It sounded like a simple thing when she said it to me. So simple that it makes me wonder why I, or anyone, thought in any other way about it given our situation. It was so simple, I just had to give in even though everything I had been taught was screaming to not let […]

I fear a lot of things, but I’ve never really been the kind to let those things show. There are, however, two things I do fear that I’m not afraid to tell you. I fear suffocation and I fear small spaces. It must have been the last family vacation we took to Disney World where […]
Remember back to high school. Now forget the good parts because we’re remembering prom and the bits leading up to it. Well, maybe they weren’t really good for me. The more I think about it, I had a great time at prom but terrible choices in prom dates. Sorry for those prom dates, if you’re […]
Ellie and I decided to take a trip down to Chicago while she was back in August. She had three and a half weeks between moving out of her last apartment and moving into her new one so we figured a trip would be a great way to take advantage of our being near each other (I […]
I’ve set a goal for myself this month. I’m going to try to post every other day. My posts won’t be random daily updates nor will they be about making myself a better man like I did in November of 2011. Instead, I found a bunch of “30 Day Writing Challenge” prompts and I’ve picked […]
